my friend and the dream she had...

So the other morning, my friend called to to share this dream she had about me and well it made my entire day.

See, I stepped out on my little limb this last weekend and shared with her what I have recently been dreaming about related to my work and creative life. You know, the stuff about what I really really really want to do. I'm not necessarily known among my friends and family as being the shy type I mean for pete's sake here I am writing out there in the ether for whoever happens to read my streaming consciousness otherwise known as this blog. But, truth is I am shy when it comes to putting myself out there when it involves my creativity and talking about that inner journey type stuff related to my dreams around work. And as for why, well that would take pages and pages and frankly it doesn't matter why, I'm just trying to move past the shyness!

But of late, after writing that post a week or so ago, I've had a few ah ha moments about what my future workrelatedtofamilyrelatedtocreativity life could look like.

....So now imagine those swirly dream sequence shots from the movies or old TV shows and cut to my friend's dream. I am sharing this in effort to continue putting my dream out there... ..

The setting is a mid 18th century European maybe even French suite...a woman's bedroom....very large, luxuriant and beautiful.

The woman is regal, maybe royalty. My friend in her dream sees me dressing the woman's hair. Her hair is chestnut brown, very long and trailing to the floor ( which is covered with a dove grey satin that changes colors ever so subtly )... I am she says pinning it up into a very elaborate up do with bejeweled pins.She tells me I am wearing a dark magenta velvet frockcoat...lace dripping from the cuffs. (oh and how i love a velvet frock coat) ,,,.

Hmmm, dressing hair perhaps not in the 18th century maybe now in the 21st... I like this dream....

...now, back to swirly dream sequence shots and cut to the present....well yesterday...

I shared my dream once again with my very very dear sister friend. And wow my did we start to brainstorm all sorts of possibilities. We created a dreamscape, a vision of how my workcreative life could look incorporating just about everything I love together in one place..the way, the what, the how I want to work and more so how it could incorporate into my mama-hood and goals for my own creative path. ....Ahhh, back to my regularly scheduled dream...
